Let's Do This Thing!

Our Story

In April of 2010, we met at a New York City Board Game meet-up, over a game of Manila of all things.  After many boardgames, some incredible dates around NYC and a fortuitous visit by Rob's brother David, Ramon moved into Rob's apartment in Brooklyn.

Six months later we moved to the UWS, adopted a shelter dog we named Paul and started to lay down the foundation of our life together: our family and friends, cooking, cocktails, entertaining, movies, theater, poker night, travel, board game conventions -- these are only a fraction of the wonderful things we've shared.

Please join us to celebrate the next stage of our life together.
